(Corruption
There was a large assembly of Demo-
crats of the Second Voting District.
last night, in Hibernian Hail, the oc-
casion being the adjourned meeting
held for a discussion of various mat-
ters pertaining to the party' a interest.
The principal matter discussed was
that of division and consolidation,
which appears to beuppermoat in the
minds of the voters lust at this time.
The discussion lat times assumed a
personal noturc, and the chairman was
obliged to call the attention of the
speakers to this fact.
Wifred Boswell. chairman of the
town committee, was ill at his home.
and Andrew Insrymailed the meeting
to order. Christian Bwartz was made
chairman. and A. Blanchard was nom-
lnated for secretary. He declined the
honor. and Daniel Keogh was named
for this position.
Edward Barrett, who. with Mr Bod-
Weli, Mr. Leary and Rufus J. Smith,
constituted the town committee, said
the committee had discussed various
matters. among them being the mak-
ing of the term of maybr two years
instead of one, as at present. He said
there appeared to be an unsettled con~
dition of affairs. The registrars claim-
ed that they must do their duty as for-
merly. at the coming town election.
What form of ballot the new Town of
South Norwalk will have is not known,
and it has not yet been ascertained
whether the official envelope can be
secured or not.
’ Edward J. Hayes asked if the com-
mittee was not prepared to present a
platform. as it had been instructed to
do at the last meeting. or offer some
suggestions for the enlightenment of
the voters assembled.

Then Henry Dexter. laying his hand
on Mr. Badger's shoulder, said: “i want

take charge of this affair. No money
must be spared to have Justice done.
Whoever is guilty of this crime must
be found and punished."
While defending the memory ofbis
late friend and praising his good quali-
ties. Mr. Badger admitted that there
were certain asperities arising from
the petulant nature of Orrando Dexter
which unduly angered those who did
not know him and could not appreciate
his real character.
He told the entire circumstances sur-

saying that recently Mr. Dexter had
not been inclined to let the natives in

counties. where his‘estate lay. float
wood pulp logs and shingle wood down
a stream. and thus incurred the ani-
mosity of several.
